Jerome Ford, Kareem Hunt Expected To Be Busy Against Broncos
1 year agoThe Cleveland Browns are expected to get back to riding running backs Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt in a combination in Week 12 against the Denver Broncos, a defense that has the No. 31 rush defense by DVOA. The Broncos defense is last by a wide margin in opponent yards per rush attempt (5.5) and yards per game (160). More safe passes are expected from rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson as well, which should also favor Ford and Hunt (mostly Hunt) in the passing game. Denver's defensive numbers remain skewed from their 70-point debacle against the Dolphins earlier this year, but it's no secret they are vulnerable on the ground, and the Browns will aim to exploit that. Both Ford and Hunt are intriguing fantasy options this week for that reason.
